Shah Rukh Khan was born on November 2, 1965 to parents of Pathan origin, Taj Mohammed Khan and Lateef Fatima. He was born and raised in New Delhi. He started his career in 1988 by appearing in the television series Fauji playing the role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai. He then played a minor role in the serial Circus in 1989.

He got critical acclaim for his performances in Baazigar and Darr (1993), in which he played anti-hero and obsessive-lover roles respectively. In 1995, he starred in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge which was a critical and commercial success.

In addition to acting, Shah Rukh regularly appears on stage as a performer or host throughout India and abroad, sometimes showcasing his former movies. His popular world tour, 'Temptations', included celebrities like Rani Mukerji, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra.

The Badshah of Bollywood is quite a bookworm even though he does not prefer to be known like that. He has a huge yearning for knowledge. He has a great collection of books at home. He has also admitted that he is unsocial by nature and is not a member of any social networking sites.

Khan turned producer when he set up a production company called Dreamz Unlimited with Juhi Chawla and director Aziz Mirza in 1999. The first two of the films he produced and starred in - Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000) and Asoka (2001) - were box office failures. However, his third film as a producer and star, Chalte Chalte (2003), turned out to be a box office hit.

His association with director/producer Yash Chopra has resulted in successes like Darr, Dil To Pagal Hai,Veer-Zaara and Chak de India. He also found fame working with Karan Johar in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Kal Ho Na Ho.

Khan took over as the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati on January 22, 2007 that turned out to be a big hit. Previously, Amitabh Bachchan used to host the show. The spat between the two was triggered and media reports saying that the new KBC hosted by Khan was "no match" for the show anchored by predecessor Bachchan. Khan told the media, "I am sexy, smart and young, that was his (Amitabh Bachchan) century, this is mine." To this, Big B reacted by saying, "Let's see what happens to him after 35 years? Whatever he says is correct. I am old and he is young and I agree that he is smart and sexy."

A life-size wax statue of the superstar is also at the world-famous Madame Tussaud's museum. He is the third celebrity from Bollywood to have his replica in the museum. "I feel like Miss World or Miss Universe, I am so happy!" Shah Rukh Khan beamed, when he unveiled his waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London in 2007.

Shah Rukh and his wife Gauri own the production company Red Chilies Entertainments, which Shah Rukh started for friend, colleague, director/choreographer Farah Khan for her debut directorial film Main Hoon Na (2004). He also launched Deepika Padukone's career in Bollywood with Om Shanti Om, where we saw SRK with six-pack abs.

On April 25, 2008, SRK began hosting the game show Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?, the Indian version of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?. But the show could not get the popularity that SRK desired. The show was also one of the reasons behind the fight between SRK and Salman Khan as the latter's show Dus Ka Dum gained more populaity than his show.

He even turned down the quiz master's role (Prem Kapoor) in Slumdog Millionaire and the role went to Anil Kapoor. However, he has no regrets for not doing the film. He said: "I know Danny felt bad about it". He also said that, "everything isn't made for me alone. God has given me enough. I'd better be happy and contented."

The actor also joined the Indian Premier League (IPL) for his love for sports and is the proud owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). He won the bid for $75.09 million. But his team did not get success in any season but SRK left no stone unturned to promote his team.

After Salman, Aamir is SRK's next competitor in the industry. However, the two came together to voice the sentiments of Bollywood fraternity over their demand for equal share of profit with multiplex owners. The two actors, who are rarely seen together and are known arch rivals, donned the role of spokespersons for the producers and distributors in Mumbai. Earlier the controversy between these two actors heated up, when Aamir Khan bought a dog named "Shahrukh Khan". In his blog entry, he stated "Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then." When SRK declined 3 Idiots, the role went to Aamir Khan.
